    For a “free speech absolutist”, Elon sure seems to be comfortable supporting dictatorships where free speech is suppressed.

    In my experience, a lot of “free speech” adherents seem to mostly want to be able to use slurs and spread anti-semitism without consequences, but feel that it’s perfectly fine for the government to outlaw the open discussion of issues which affect 5-10% of the population.

      Free speech for me, not for thee.

      In other words, “I can say whatever I want, and you can’t oppress me by criticizing it!”
